School and College performance tables

All our students are encouraged to excel academically and personally. Good examination results will lead to many opportunities for your child, enabling them to move on to further and higher education, university and a successful career. High expectations, self-belief, hard work and determination are fundamental factors in securing good achievement.

We are really proud of our students for the 2017 GCSE results. Overall students made, on average, over a half a grade more progress in each subject compared to 2016 results, with the headline figure of 9-4 in English and Maths also increasing by 9% overall. Our 2017 results put TCA in the top 18% of schools nationally for student progress and the top 2% of most improved schools.

The excellent examination results highlighted above reflect the high-quality teaching and learning that takes place at Thornhill Community Academy, as well as the hard work of our wonderful students and their ability to achieve, whatever their circumstance or starting point.

Ms Matthews commented “It’s been lovely to celebrate some real successes with our students this morning after all staff and students’ hard work and commitment over the last two years. We have had some outstanding individual results with a number of students attaining a string of A/A*s and 7-9s whilst other students have made excellent progress over 5 years to achieve the results they have received today. They can all feel incredibly proud and we wish them well for their futures.”
